Periods are never fun. You have to deal with bloating, cramps, and constantly make sure that you have a pad or tampon on hand. But what if you never had to never worry about that again?
It’s hard to imagine a cycle without ’em, but several forward-thinking brands constructed products that offer the period protection you need — some are even reusable (going green on all levels!).
Check out the brands below that might help you nix pads and tampons for good.
Adira Intimates
This affordable period panty ensures you’re protected from leaks no matter what day of your period you’re on. If you don’t have a normal cycle or your start date tends to jump around, these panties are perfect for making sure you’re always covered. The leak-proof layers of the underwear ensure that you’ll stay dry and also prevents front, back, and inner thigh staining (which we’re no strangers to).
The DivaCup
Menstrual cups work by collecting blood during your menstrual cycle. Unlike traditional feminine products, you only need to remove and clean the cup every 10-12 hours. Store it in the drawstring cotton pouch it comes in until your next time of the month! The cups can last up to a year, so you don’t have to worry about making a midnight run to your local drugstore when your period decides to pay a surprise visit. You’ll be saving significant cash too — which is a bonus!
Jade & Pearl Reusable Pads
Instead of stocking up on boxes of pads, tampons, and liners, this brand offers a reusable alternative. Not only is this good for your wallet, it’s also good for the environment! Simply wear the pad every 6-12 hours (depending on your flow), rinse, dry and reuse!
Would you trade your pads or tampons for these options? Let us know in the comments below!
